Caroline married Ernst because it means she can outrank her siblings - she now has an HRH (Her ROYAL Highness) in her title, as opposed to HSH (Her SERENE Highness), which is even beneath plain old Highness on the title scale. Even though Ernst's title is pretty useless since Germany abolished royal titles after WW One. She's a snob, pure and simple. That's why she stays married to him. For the title.

An idiotic snob? That's even worse. I looked Ernst August up, he has not been seen since his pancreatitis, rumor is, that he has never fully recovered, needs assistance and care. German tabloids find Caroline heartless for not caring for him in the hour of need. Well...

It also traced the call to a clinic specialising in drug and alcohol addiction.

The Bunte too? Usually they are Team St. Caroline who got her rightful place on the throne stolen by that mentally unstable South African hussy .

of course caroline is a snob. and sure there are the titles. but she's also smarter than stephanie and knows that ernst is a drunk and has health issues, and is worth about 3/4 of a billion. her daughter will inherit, of course (but probably less than the sons who run his business) but so will she if they're still married when he croaks, and she won't even have to lift a finger and go through a messy divorce, and she doesn't have to put up with his drunk and probably brain damaged ass.
